From “We Can’t Afford It” to Keys in Hand — Thanks to Down Payment Assistance

A few months ago, I spoke with a couple who’d basically given up on the idea of buying.

Two steady jobs. Great rental history. But like a lot of folks, no pile of cash sitting in savings — and rising prices had them convinced they were priced out.

Enter: GSFA Platinum.

We used a mix of:

• ✅ Down payment assistance through GSFA

• ✅ Seller credits to help with closing costs

• ✅ A smart loan structure with long-term flexibility

They brought under $2,000 to closing. Closed in under 30 days. And moved into a home they thought they’d be renting near forever.

This wasn’t about chasing the lowest rate — it was about removing the biggest barrier: cash to close.

GSFA and other local programs are quietly helping buyers get in the game every week — without draining their bank accounts or waiting another year to “save up.”

If you’ve got questions, or you’re working with clients who want to buy but feel stuck, it’s worth a conversation. There’s more help out there than most people realize.
